This Sunday, April 13th, Jane Pauley anchors a special edition of CBS NEWS SUNDAY MORNING, dedicating its yearly “Money Issue” entirely to the subject of retirement. Airing from 9:00 AM ET, the broadcast plans a wide-ranging look at financial planning, lifestyle choices, and cultural attitudes connected to life after full-time work.
The program examines key retirement saving mechanisms, speaking with Ted Benna, credited with devising the 401(k) plan over four decades ago. David Pogue investigates the history and future prospects of Social Security. Adding current financial context, Jo Ling Kent reports on the week’s market news and potential effects on retirement funds, while Michelle Singletary gives advice on saving strategies.
Different approaches to the golden years get attention. Luke Burbank meets younger individuals pursuing the ‘Financial Independence, Retire Early’ (FIRE) path. Seth Doane reports on Americans choosing to retire abroad in places like Portugal and Malta. Susan Spencer connects with people actively checking items off their personal “bucket lists,” and Martha Teichner visits a Latitude Margaritaville community, inspired by the late Jimmy Buffett.
Cultural aspects also appear, including a Tracy Smith interview with comedy mainstays Cheech & Chong, who discuss their lengthy careers and a new film. Robert Costa looks inside the workings of AARP and its connection to figures like Drew Barrymore. More unique angles feature Conor Knighton visiting a Louisiana retirement sanctuary for chimpanzees and Lee Cowan reporting on restored World War II aircraft taking flight again in Arizona.
